Spring Boot

Since Camel 2.15

Spring Boot component provides auto-configuration for Apache Camel. Our opinionated auto-configuration of the Camel context auto-detects Camel routes available in the Spring context and registers the key Camel utilities (like producer template, consumer template and the type converter) as beans.

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml in order to use this component:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-spring-boot</artifactId>
    <version>${camel.version}</version> <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

camel-spring-boot jar comes with the spring.factories file, so as soon as you add that dependency into your classpath, Spring Boot will automatically auto-configure Camel for you.

Camel Spring Boot Starter

Since Camel 2.17

Apache Camel ships a Spring Boot Starter module that allows you to develop Spring Boot applications using starters. There is a sample application in the source code also.

To use the starter, add the following to your spring boot pom.xml file:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
    <version>${camel.version}</version> <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

Then you can just add classes with your Camel routes such as:

package com.example;

import org.apache.camel.builder.RouteBuilder;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

@Component
public class MyRoute extends RouteBuilder {

    @Override
    public void configure() throws Exception {
        from("timer:foo").to("log:bar");
    }
}

Then these routes will be started automatically.

You can customize the Camel application in the application.properties or application.yml file.

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using spring-boot with Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

camel.springboot.auto-startup	Sets whether the object should automatically start when Camel starts. Important: Currently only routes can be disabled, as CamelContext’s are always started. Note: When setting auto startup false on CamelContext then that takes precedence and no routes is started. You would need to start CamelContext explicit using the org.apache.camel.CamelContext.start() method, to start the context, and then you would need to start the routes manually using Camelcontext.getRouteController().startRoute(String).

The default value is false.	false	Boolean
camel.springboot.endpoint-lazy-start-producer	Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing. The default value is false.	false	Boolean
camel.springboot.endpoint-runtime-statistics-enabled	Sets whether endpoint runtime statistics is enabled (gathers runtime usage of each incoming and outgoing endpoints). The default value is false.	false	Boolean

camel.springboot.mdc-logging-keys-pattern	Sets the pattern used for determine which custom MDC keys to propagate during message routing when the routing engine continues routing asynchronously for the given message. Setting this pattern to * will propagate all custom keys. Or setting the pattern to foo,bar will propagate any keys starting with either foo or bar. Notice that a set of standard Camel MDC keys are always propagated which starts with camel. as key name.

The controller allows to be configured with various settings to attempt to restart failing routes.	false	Boolean
camel.springboot.route-controller-thread-pool-size	The number of threads used by the route controller scheduled thread pool that are used for restarting routes.

Auto-configured Camel context

The most important piece of functionality provided by the Camel auto-configuration is CamelContext instance. Camel auto-configuration creates a SpringCamelContext for you and takes care of the proper initialization and shutdown of that context. The created Camel context is also registered in the Spring application context (under camelContext bean name), so you can access it just as any other Spring bean.

@Configuration
public class MyAppConfig {

  @Autowired
  CamelContext camelContext;

  @Bean
  MyService myService() {
    return new DefaultMyService(camelContext);
  }

}

Auto-detecting Camel routes

Camel auto-configuration collects all the RouteBuilder instances from the Spring context and automatically injects them into the provided CamelContext. That means that creating new Camel route with the Spring Boot starter is as simple as adding the @Component annotated class to your classpath:

@Component
public class MyRouter extends RouteBuilder {

  @Override
  public void configure() throws Exception {
    from("jms:invoices").to("file:/invoices");
  }

}

Or creating a new route RouteBuilder bean in your @Configuration class:

@Configuration
public class MyRouterConfiguration {

  @Bean
  RoutesBuilder myRouter() {
    return new RouteBuilder() {

      @Override
      public void configure() throws Exception {
        from("jms:invoices").to("file:/invoices");
      }

    };
  }

}

Camel properties

Spring Boot auto-configuration automatically connects to Spring Boot external configuration (like properties placeholders, OS environment variables or system properties) with the Camel properties support. It basically means that any property defined in application.properties file:

route.from = jms:invoices

Or set via system property:

java -Droute.to=jms:processed.invoices -jar mySpringApp.jar

…can be used as placeholders in Camel route:

@Component
public class MyRouter extends RouteBuilder {

  @Override
  public void configure() throws Exception {
    from("{{route.from}}").to("{{route.to}}");
  }

}

Custom Camel context configuration

If you would like to perform some operations on CamelContext bean created by Camel auto-configuration, register CamelContextConfiguration instance in your Spring context:

@Configuration
public class MyAppConfig {

  @Bean
  CamelContextConfiguration contextConfiguration() {
    return new CamelContextConfiguration() {
      @Override
      void beforeApplicationStart(CamelContext context) {
        // your custom configuration goes here
      }
    };
  }

}

Method beforeApplicationStart` will be called just before the Spring context is started, so the CamelContext instance passed to this callback is fully auto-configured. You can add many instances of CamelContextConfiguration into your Spring context - all of them will be executed.

Disabling JMX

To disable JMX of the auto-configured CamelContext use camel.springboot.jmxEnabled property (JMX is enabled by default). For example you could add the following property to your application.properties file:

camel.springboot.jmx-enabled = false

Auto-configured consumer and producer templates

Camel auto-configuration provides pre-configured ConsumerTemplate and ProducerTemplate instances. You can simply inject them into your Spring-managed beans:

@Component
public class InvoiceProcessor {

  @Autowired
  private ProducerTemplate producerTemplate;

  @Autowired
  private ConsumerTemplate consumerTemplate;

  public void processNextInvoice() {
    Invoice invoice = consumerTemplate.receiveBody("jms:invoices", Invoice.class);
    ...
    producerTemplate.sendBody("netty-http:http://invoicing.com/received/" + invoice.id());
  }

}

By default consumer templates and producer templates come with the endpoint cache sizes set to 1000. You can change those values via the following Spring properties:

camel.springboot.consumer-template-cache-size = 100
camel.springboot.producer-template-cache-size = 200

Auto-configured TypeConverter

Camel auto-configuration registers a TypeConverter instance named typeConverter in the Spring context.

@Component
public class InvoiceProcessor {

  @Autowired
  private TypeConverter typeConverter;

  public long parseInvoiceValue(Invoice invoice) {
    String invoiceValue = invoice.grossValue();
    return typeConverter.convertTo(Long.class, invoiceValue);
  }

}

Spring type conversion API bridge

Spring comes with the powerful type conversion API. Spring API happens to be very similar to the Camel type converter API. As those APIs are so similar, Camel Spring Boot automatically registers a bridge converter (SpringTypeConverter) that delegates to the Spring conversion API.That means that out-of-the-box Camel will treat Spring Converters like Camel ones. With this approach you can enjoy both Camel and Spring converters accessed via Camel TypeConverter API:

@Component
public class InvoiceProcessor {

  @Autowired
  private TypeConverter typeConverter;

  public UUID parseInvoiceId(Invoice invoice) {
    // Using Spring's StringToUUIDConverter
    UUID id = invoice.typeConverter.convertTo(UUID.class, invoice.getId());
  }

}

Under the hood Camel Spring Boot delegates conversion to the Spring’s ConversionService instances available in the application context. If no ConversionService instance is available, Camel Spring Boot auto-configuration will create one for you.

Disabling type conversions features

If you don’t want Camel Spring Boot to register type-conversions related features (like TypeConverter instance or Spring bridge) set the camel.springboot.type-conversion property to false.

camel.springboot.type-conversion = false

Keeping the application alive

Camel applications having this feature enabled launch a new thread on startup for the sole purpose of keeping the application alive by preventing JVM termination. It means that after you start a Camel application with Spring Boot, your application waits for a Ctrl+C signal and does not exit immediately.

The controller thread can be activated using the camel.springboot.main-run-controller to true.

camel.springboot.main-run-controller = true

Applications using web modules (e.g. importing the org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-web-starter module), usually don’t need to use this feature because the application is kept alive by the presence of other non-daemon threads.

Adding XML routes

By default you can put Camel XML routes in the classpath under the directory camel, which camel-spring-boot will auto detect and include. You can configure the directory name or turn this off using the configuration option

// turn off
camel.springboot.xml-routes = false
// scan in the com/foo/routes classpath
camel.springboot.xml-routes = classpath:com/foo/routes/*.xml

The XML files should be Camel XML routes (not CamelContext) such as

<routes xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
    <route id="test">
        <from uri="timer://trigger"/>
        <transform>
            <simple>ref:myBean</simple>
        </transform>
        <to uri="log:out"/>
    </route>
</routes>

Adding XML Rest-DSL

By default you can put Camel Rest-DSL XML routes in the classpath under the directory camel-rest, which camel-spring-boot will auto detect and include. You can configure the directory name or turn this off using the configuration option

// turn off
camel.springboot.xml-rests = false
// scan in the com/foo/routes classpath
camel.springboot.xml-rests = classpath:com/foo/rests/*.xml

The Rest-DSL XML files should be Camel XML rests (not CamelContext) such as

<rests xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
  <rest>
     <post uri="/persons">
        <to uri="direct:postPersons"/>
     </post>
     <get uri="/persons">
        <to uri="direct:getPersons"/>
     </get>
     <get uri="/persons/{personId}">
         <to uri="direct:getPersionId"/>
     </get>
     <put uri="/persons/{personId}">
         <to uri="direct:putPersionId"/>
     </put>
     <delete uri="/persons/{personId}">
         <to uri="direct:deletePersionId"/>
     </delete>
  </rest>
</rests>

Testing the JUnit 4 way

For testing, Maven users will need to add the following dependencies to their pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
    <version>${spring-boot.version}</version> <!-- Use the same version as your Spring Boot version -->
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-test-spring</artifactId>
    <version>${camel.version}</version> <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

To test a Camel Spring Boot application, annotate your test class(es) with @RunWith(CamelSpringBootRunner.class). This brings Camel’s Spring Test support to your application, so that you can write tests using Spring Boot test conventions.

To get the CamelContext or ProducerTemplate, you can inject them into the class in the normal Spring manner, using @Autowired.

You can also use Camel Spring test annotations to configure tests declaratively. This example uses the @MockEndpoints annotation to auto-mock an endpoint:

@RunWith(CamelSpringBootRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest
@MockEndpoints("direct:end")
public class MyApplicationTest {

    @Autowired
    private ProducerTemplate template;

    @EndpointInject("mock:direct:end")
    MockEndpoint mock;

    @Test
    public void testReceive() throws Exception {
        mock.expectedBodiesReceived("Hello");
        template.sendBody("direct:start", "Hello");
        mock.assertIsSatisfied();
    }

}
